Chapter 410 Matters of the heart are never simple, Nux

"Heeh? The First Prince is interesting indeed."

Ember commented with a smile on her face.

"Heh, to be honest, if I had a father like the King, I would be the same."

Edda spoke.

"Indeed, Indeed, that bastard is the worse."

Allura nodded in agreement.

"Well, whatever the reason, in the end, it is good for us."

Nux commented and the others nodded,

"We will be using the First Prince to our benefit, therefore, we will be changing our plans. Amaya already has a few plans in her mind, just give her some more time, she just needs to refine whatever she is thinking."

"Tsk Tsk, I still don't know what goes on inside that mind of hers."

Ember shook her head.

"Heh, if it was that easy to find out, she wouldn't be the one planning everything for us."

Nux smiled.

"The Princess of Skadi is intelligent indeed. The Skadi must be regretting their decision right now."

Ember laughed.

"I am than-"

Nux was about to answer, but suddenly,

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

A knock was heard.

Nux and the others used [Sense] and soon, Ember's, Felberta's and Allura's smiles widened as they glanced at Nux.

Nux glanced at them and shook his head in defeat.

Then, with a big sigh, he stood up and opened the door.

"Teacher Arvina, how are you?"

He smiled.

"Nux…"

Arvina called out.

"…"

Nux turned silent.

"…"

Arvina didn't know what to say either. However, she knew she had to break this silence, otherwise, this relationship of hers with her student would become awkward.

"W-Where did you go, yesterday? You didn't even show up for your training today."

"Ah, well, I just recalled that I had to be somewhere else at that time, I had no choice but to leave and I just returned from that place."

"I understand."

Arvina nodded.

Nux nodded back.

"…"

"…"

Again, the two of them turned silent.

Ember, Felberta, and Allura were definitely enjoying whatever was happening in front of them.

It was their first time seeing Nux acting so awkwardly after all.

An interesting sight indeed.

"Ugghh, alright Teacher Arvina, listen here."

Nux, who could practically feel their gazes on him couldn't take it anymore and spoke out loud.

"W-What is it?"

Arvina questioned.

"It's getting too awkward. I can't take this anymore.

Let's just act like yesterday never happened, alright?"

"That is a good idea."

Arvina nodded.

"Mhm, just forget about everything. We are just like any other normal Student and Teacher."

"Yes, that is correct."

Arvina nodded again.

Nux's smile widened as he smiled,

"So, Teacher Arvina, what happened? Why are you here?"

"I am just here to check up on you. You know… about…"

"Ah, don't worry about it. I am fine now."

Nux's smile widened.

"That is good."

"Mhm,"

Nux nodded.

And then, he continued,

"Well, Teacher Arvina, I am talking about something important right now, so would you mind…"

"Ah, yes, alright. I will take my leave. I will talk to you later."

Arvina quickly realized what Nux was talking about and nodded.

Then, she smiled at Nux's women and turned around.

"Thank you for understanding, Teacher Arvina."

After Arvina left, Nux closed the door and sighed again.

"You know that you are not going back to normal, right?"

Ember questioned.

"Well, we can at least try."

Nux replied.

"I just don't want to stand in front of her and have all those awkward conversations about whether and whatnot."

"You have not moved on yet, have you?"

Felberta questioned.

"Of course not."

Nux shook his head.

"It is my first time facing a rejection, after all."

Hearing those words, Ember couldn't help but speak out loud.

"You do know that all is not over yet, don't you?"

Nux narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"There are chances that Arvina is not being honest with you and with herself. I mean, she is your teacher, it would be hard for her to believe that she is in love with you, just like Evane.

Her case, however, is even more complicated since she is a wife as well."

"So you are saying that she might actually love me but is unable to accept me?"

Nux questioned.

"Yes."

Ember nodded.

"And how are you sure that what you say is true, and Arvina really does not like me as someone who she can spend the rest of her life with?"

Nux questioned.

"Well… because it is you…?"

Evane answered back.

Nux looked at her with a blank look on his face,

"So you are not sure."

"Well… I am… not…"

Ember replied.

"Ember, don't complicate simple things, I liked Teacher Arvina, I proposed to her. She didn't have the same feelings, so she turned me down.

It is just that simple."

"Matters of the heart are never simple, Nux."

Suddenly, Felberta spoke up.

"They actually are. It is we who try to complicate them. Just listen to your heart.

Didn't you all do that same thing? Was it that hard? Cause in my case, my heart told me that I love you all, and I walked right in.

Didn't you all do the same?"

"We did. My heart told me you are the one when you hugged me that day."

Skyla nodded with a big smile on her face.

"See? It is just that simple."

Nux nodded.

"…"

Felberta turned silent.

"Not everyone can hear their hearts so easily."

Ember spoke.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

Nux questioned.

"Why not try to confirm if she actually has feelings for you or not?"

Ember suggested.

Nux, however, shook his head.

"That would be harassment.

A no means no.

And Teacher Arvina has made her stand clear.

I have made a mistake before, I do not plan to repeat it again."

Nux answered.

A loving smile appeared on Thyra's face,

"You can repeat that mistake on me if you want."

Thyra spoke as she bit her lower lip seductively while winking at Nux.

Nux chuckled.

"Why not talk to Amaya? I am sure she can come up with a better answer"

Suddenly, Felberta spoke.

"Hmm? Well, we can do that."

Nux nodded.

Soon, Amaya joined the conversation, Ember then told her about the theory in her mind and asked what she thought.

Amaya's answer was, however, well… Amaya's answer…

'Huh? Why should he do it? Aren't there enough of you bitches around him already?'
